Brielle city office redevelopment
The former Brielle city office at Slagveld 36 is no longer fully used as an office. The Municipality of Voorne aan Zee would like the Town Office to be given a new purpose. The intention is to convert the office building into an apartment building.
The plan includes the rezoning of the former Brielle City Office into a residential building with a maximum of 31 apartments. This takes into account the local parking standards, and the space available for parking spaces. The choice was made to create housing for seniors and starters with housing in the category of both social rental and middle rental.
The homes will soon be rented and managed by the Woonbedrijf of the Municipality of Voorne aan Zee. The homes will be offered in due course through Woonnet Rijnmond. It is therefore very important that interested parties are registered with Woonnet Rijnmond.
At this moment it is not yet possible to register for these houses.
What is the plan?
We are currently in the final design phase in preparation for the environmental permit application. We expect to start implementation around the end of 2026. This will happen as soon as the environmental permit has been granted.
The municipal council of Voorne aan Zee decided to make additional funds available for the renovation of the former municipal office in Brielle.
Alderman Jan Spoon:
“With this redevelopment, we are giving the former municipal office on Slagveld a new purpose. We are providing affordable rental homes for both seniors and young first-time buyers. In this way, we are improving the quality of life in Brielle and stimulating movement in the housing market.”
The total investment for the redevelopment amounts to a maximum of €13.26 million. This is necessary to realize the plan development, renovation, parking facilities, and sustainable energy facilities. The plan is in line with provincial policy for social housing.
During the same meeting, the municipal council adopted the TAM environmental plan. You can view the draft at:
Map search for 'Slagveld 36 Brielle'). With the adoption of the TAM Environmental Plan Slagveld 36, the environmental plan for the address Slagveld 36 in Brielle has been amended. This means that the zoning of the municipal office will change from 'Social' to 'Residential'.
How have local residents been involved?
A residents' meeting was held on Wednesday, November 19. During this evening, images of the current draft design and the proposed plan for the zoning change were shown. The architect and the project team from the municipality Voorne aan Zee present to answer questions and talk to local residents.
When will the homes be there?
The area now has no residential zoning. If we want to make "living" possible there, we must first regulate this with a procedure for an "out-of-plan environmental plan activity. In that procedure there are also possibilities to give a formal reaction (view) to the plan. We start this procedure when we have completed the investigations (including participation with stakeholders).
After completing the spatial procedure, we can start the realization. It is still difficult to make a good planning for this. For example, we do not yet know what reactions will come in the participation round and whether formal objections will be filed in the procedure. Then the procedure will start and it will take at least three months but probably longer. Finally, construction has to take place and the site has to be laid out (landscaping, parking spaces and the like). All together, this will take at least a year.
- Elaborate design and cost estimate: end 2025
- Budget decision: early 2026
- Adopt environmental plan: by summer 2026
- Start of construction: expected at the end of 2026.
With this approach, we ensure a good and feasible plan that meets housing needs and is future-proof.
What will the plan look like?
We commissioned an initial urban design to see what is possible on this site. This resulted in a design with 31 homes. This takes into account the local parking standards and the space available for parking spaces. This is still an initial design, which will form the basis for further work toward a final design.
